Sex,Drama and Psychos...

...was really what Central Park West was about.It had some very original Storyline(Such as the Mark:The psycho writer) and some less original Storylines(Alex's Faked pregnancy).I have watched all the episodes and it was all great!There was never a boring,nothing happens episode.It was too bad CBS canned it,it could've been hotter than Melrose Place!
